Welcome!
Welcome
and thank you for visiting the Ultimate Tree-Ring web pages, designed to
be the ULTIMATE source for information on the science of Dendrochronology.
I've designed these pages to be easily understood by people at all levels
of education, from elementary school students to high school
students, from first grade teachers to college professors. You won't find
anything fancy here - I want these pages to be readable, enjoyable, and
(most of all) educational.
My goal
My
goal is to make available as much information about dendrochronology as I
can possibly find on the Internet, from the basics of tree-ring dating, to
reference and bibliographic information, to products and supplies, to
books, and more! My mission was born from an overwhelming need among
dendrochronologists for a permanent repository of information that was
free to the public, easily understandable, and as comprehensive as humanly
possible. Come back and visit from time to time to learn more about new or
updated software, new educational tools, new institutions conducting
tree-ring research, new publications, and more!

Many
people think that the tree-ring web site is supported completely by
my university. Not at all. I do all the web page information
searching, coding, and designing at home in my free time, likely
amounting so far to thousands of hours of my own personal time. I
pay for the FrontPage software, my Sony laptop, high-speed Internet
and home wireless, printer, and all the "hidden" overhead (paper, cartridges,
electricity), even the extra server space needed for the many files! The university only provides the standard
server space for these pages. If you've found
these pages useful, consider buying items from my
online bookstore and
online tree-ring supply store
through Amazon.com. I receive a small percentage (4%) from each sale and
all proceeds go towards helping keep these web pages going. In
fact, if you buy anything after linking to Amazon through my
stores, I still receive a small percentage. I'd like to keep these
tree-ring web pages online
for another 14 years! -- Henri |
My philosophy
I
believe that a scientific discipline is only as efficient and important to
society as the information available to it. Too often, scientists are
overwhelmed with a glut of information about a particular subject, making
it difficult to read through and separate the significant material from
the unimportant. Organization is key in science. In the
ultimate tree-ring web pages, I've organized all facets of
dendrochronology into neat groups, each available by clicking on the link
at the left.
Where is it?
Not
sure where to find something? First, click on "A-Z Index" at
the left for a comprehensive list of items available from these pages.
Second, try searching for a particular keyword by using the
"Search" link at the top and bottom of this page. A list of pages at this site will be
provided with that keyword. Then find the item on that page by using the
"Find in page" function of your browser. Finally, when all else
fails, get in touch with me at the email address below and ask me your
question. I promise I'll provide a timely answer as quickly as possible.
